Path description:
From the inn Kovač at first we walk by the road which leads towards Tacen, after the main road makes a light right turn, we continue slightly left on a narrower local road (by the crossroad is situated a sign prohibiting driving, near the signpost is also an information board of Forest teaching trail on Grmada). On a narrower asphalt road, we quickly get to a private parking lot, where the climbing path on Grmada branches off sharply to the left, and we continue straight and we follow the road to the sign with the caption private. Here we continue slightly left on a marked footpath which starts gently ascending through the forest. After a good 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the next crossing, where we continue right in the direction of the path over Zatrep (left path Mazijeva steza on Grmada). Next follows few successive crossings, and on all of them we continue left in the direction of the path over Zatrep. When successive crossings ends, the path passes on steep slopes, through which it starts ascending steeper. During the ascent in main we cross the slopes towards the right, and the mentioned path we follow to the juncture with the path Romarska pot. On the mentioned path we go past the chapel to the nearby crossing, where the path on Grmada branches off to the left.
Here we continue straight, and the path out of the forest brings us on a small saddle between Grmada and Šmarna gora.
Here we step on a road (access from Zavrh) on which we continue the ascent, and which soon splits into two parts. We can continue the ascent on the road, in this case, we get to the summit past a wish bell, or we continue right on a marked footpath which past the chapel of St Sobota, also brings us to the summit of Šmarna gora.
